Civis Americanus Sum.
Where to start? The leaflet referred to here—“A Last Appeal to Reason,” by Adolf Hitler—was dropped en masse on August 1, 1940. By that date: 1) Nazi Germany’s attempt to destroy the Royal Air Force ahead of an invasion of Britain was already in its fourth week (on July 10,…
I particularly enjoyed this part of the Hunter Biden interview. youtube.com/watch?v=dSIKT5…

Good thread on this absolute lunacy.
The district court in Massachusetts enjoined Congress from cutting funding for Planned Parenthood. Abandoning it's earlier Bill of Attainder theory, the Court finds that Congress passing a law defunding PP violates their First Amendment and Equal Protection rights. I'm skeptical!
The problem was Colbert and the atmosphere that he created, which was profoundly different to Johnny Carson's. America is a big, interesting place; the Colbert-led Late Show did not understand that. nationalreview.com/2025/07/stephe…
Because if there's anything that Hunter Biden will not tolerate, it's becoming a "white millionaire" based on your personal connection to a president. x.com/Channel5iveNew…
Hunter Biden calls out the Pod Save America team as "four white millionaires dining out on their association with Barack Obama from 16 years ago" as he outlines his issues with the greater Democratic establishment
The urban planner world is awash with people who believe in a conspiracy theory wherein a convoluted system of laws pushed by the auto industry has made us car dependent while also impeding the adoption of mass transit. It never occurs to them that many people just prefer cars.
Do you not see all the observers who are expressing huge doubts about the moon landing? Are you going to mention them in every article about it?

This “wasn’t happening” though, so it doesn’t matter.
In Illinois, adult immigrants ages 42-64 without legal status have lost their health care to save an estimated $404 million. trib.al/CbnpKJT
Keith Olbermann, the senior statesman, the adult in the room, the voice of reason.
Beyond parody.
Thank you Stephen Colbert for your willingness to speak truth to power. Staying far from timid. And never bending the knee to a wannabe king.
Jon Stewart unintentionally broke comedy. All of his protégés (Oliver, Colbert, Bee) kept the meanness and self righteousness without the subtlety, self-awareness, and willingness to criticize his own side (remember Stewart’s re-debut was mocking Biden’s age) that made him work.
Actually, Colbert fans have never HEARD a joke. The show was nothing but a long political diatribe: Dems good GOP evil Colbert smug
At root, the NPR story and the Colbert story are the same: progressives took over a product, made it so that people didn’t want to pay it for it—whether via advertising, subscriptions, or donations—and they’re now upset that it won’t be perpetually bailed out by a third party.
